Progressing ROM HacksThis forum is for ROM hacks which are currently in production, but not yet finished. Come and find a ROM hack that's starting out, or post your own for others to see! For Pokémon/non-Pokémon hacks.

Bird Catching Contest

So this is like the bug catching contest from G/S/C, but with birds instead. Ignore the master ball in the video; it was only for test purposes. And ignore the tile errors as I've fixed them all. :3

The wild Pokémon encounter ratio is the same as it is for any route. This is a timed event so you won't be able to participate whenever you want. And I'm not going to reveal where this is, but this will be available in the beta.

As for prize-winning Pokémon:
First prize - farfetch'd
Second prize - natu
Third prize - fearow/noctowl/pidgeotto

I'm not going to spoil what the prizes are so you'll just have to be happy or disappointed when you receive them. :3

This is WICKED. Even though you can't raise my interest any more, for a moment I think you did. Great job buddy! Also, farfetch'd deserves some love. And you gave it love. Woosome. I'm so eager to play it! ;D

Thank you. :3
Farfetch'd FTW!

Nina's Event

This is an optional event in the upcoming beta (but mandatory in the beta after). You have to help Nina return to her human form. And it isn't as simple as it is with Bill in FR. :3

Fossil Reviving

After the Team Rocket event is cleared in Spring Town, you can talk to this guy to revive any fossils you have. Unlike the other games though, you can't just walk out of the room and he'll have finished. This time, the revival will take time. :3Pick a berry and you'll have you wait even longer. <:

I like the OW, now I'm curious as to what the in-game sprite looks like. Also do you have an OW/concept for the heroine?

I'm wondering what the in-game sprite looks like too. :3
Too bad I won't find out until a later beta. lol

Heroine

This wasn't what I had planned, but I like the way it came out. She's smaller than most teenage/adult npcs, but that's because she's a little younger than the hero. While the hero is on his journey because he wants to be, she's on battling gyms and stuff to prove she's not just a little kid. :3

Oh, btw, I'm delaying the beta because I have one last feature to implement. How long it takes though, I don't know. :3

Delayed? Delayed?
My life has no meaning anymore.
Seriously though, this hack just gets better and better every time I see it. All of the little side-quests and stuff seem really amazing and inventive.
Looks like I might have to play this. And I rarely play many hacks.

Yush, delayed. This new thingy's main script is almost complete (over 400 lines too), but I still need to map it and put in all the other necessary scripts.

I have to study for two tests today, but I have Friday off so if all goes well, the beta should be released on the weekend. :3

Congrats on HOTM! You really deserved it! [/delay]
Well, I don't have to say anything more. This hack is just perfect.
Everytime I see more updates, I get a happiness and impatience attack. Seriously can't wait to play the beta!

Thanks.
Oh, and for those who want to know, this special, upcoming feature just needs to have a few scripts put in place, have a map done, be tested, and then the beta will be released. :3
This feature will not disappoint. <:

The Thingy in the Spoiler

Spoiler:

Just because I spent a day week working on this, I'm going to make this sound like an epic thing, even though it's not. I've had to remake this three times for the beta so I'm very surprised that I haven't gone bald from stress.

Now on to the actual thing. This time, there are two factors that limit how long you can play for. One is the strength of the tool you use. The other is the time limit. If you move about and not hit anything after hitting a load of stuff, there should be a recovery in the tool's strength. However, moving about only means that you're running out of even more time.

Every prize has an item graphic. :3
The stuff you can find it split into three categories: common, rare, and OMG FOSSIL!!!!!!!11111????????111111
All fossils can be revived by the guy in Spring Town. Obviously, the fossils are going to be a lot harder to find, but because I'm statistically challenged, that may not prove to be. >:

If this post sound dumb in anyway, it's because it's almost 1am, and I need some serious sleep. >:

Oh, and yeah, you get to control the tile you want to hit instead of the player. I really didn't want to make custom overworlds for this.
